England 1986

Chapter 246 Fox Pharmaceutical Factory
"what!"

With a scream, William crossed the finish line, followed by Diana.

Looking at this result, Allen should, probably, be No. 1, right?

There is no podium, and a dozen families of parents and children form a huge semi-circle on the playground.

Allen hugged Harry, and Diana took William's hand, taking the trophies and medals from the headmaster.

The preparations are quite complete. The small wooden medal, with the name of honor written on it with a watercolor pen, looks very childish.

The trophy is metal, and there is a small paper card on the base, and the honor is also written on it.

In this situation, Allen felt a little dreamy. In the "Bad Seed" he filmed the year before last, the little heroine in it persecuted her classmates for the first time because of this kind of medal, but the medal was made more beautifully at that time. .

This kind of thing depends on the school. Some schools are rich and powerful. Of course, metal ones can be used, and even gold medals can be used directly.

But some schools don't advocate this, and they have to use this kind of small wooden medals, which is fine.

Anyway, Allen likes it very much, and it is quite commemorative.

He turned his head and looked at the two groups of families around him. They were No. 3 respectively.

And all the parents who attended today, except for the top three, also received encouragement awards. It was a joy for everyone, and they took care of all the children.

"Haha, this school is a bit interesting, as long as you participate, you will be given medals, it's very considerate!"

Allen turned his head and said something to Diana.

Diana looked at Allen, speechless.

"Eh? Auntie, what does your look mean?"

Allen was completely absent from Diana's strange eyes.

"Don't you know? Isn't it all because of you?!"

"I?"

Allen was taken aback for a moment, what does this have to do with him?
"Ha ha."

Diana looked at Alan in a daze, and explained in a low voice.

It turned out that because of Allen's movie, although no one criticized him in Great Britain, that movie was still very influential!
Although the little heroine is from the United States, you can still see a lot of different things when viewing this movie from a different angle.

Like medals.

If, as in the past, only award medals to the top three, then the immature child will easily become jealous and have a bad influence as in the movie.

so.
Since then, most schools have started to engage in this kind of reward for seeing people.

It is to prevent disputes between children.

It can be regarded as really meeting Allen's wishes, and it has reached a certain warning significance.

"That's okay too?"

After listening to the explanation, Alan was a little dazed. He made it up at the time, and even the purpose of making that movie was a bit malicious, but he didn't expect anyone to believe his words.
This... Sure enough, if you have money and power, you have the right to speak.

In Britain at the beginning of March, the outside world is still hotly reporting the luxurious lineup of the two princes William and Harry participating in the sports meeting at the school.

At this time, Allen packed up, changed into a thin suit, and was going to inspect the pharmaceutical factory that was collected from Viscount Fox's house.

But just as the convoy was about to leave, Rex drove a broken MG car slowly and arrived at the gate of the manor.

Seeing Alan's convoy, Rex quickly parked the car, greeted the doorman, trotted to Alan's car and whispered: "Master, I am going to ask you to report the situation, you Do you want to go out?"

Allen glanced at Rex's big belly, and snorted coldly: "Is the food good recently? Eat well, use well, and work well?"

"Master!"

Rex blushed immediately, he was not shy, but scared!
Alan seldom spoke to him like this. Compared to such a mocking tone, he wanted to have Alan reprimand him directly.

"Follow me, I'll go to the pharmaceutical factory, and we'll talk when we get there!"

Allen gave an order, the car windows closed slowly, and the convoy started slowly again, leaving Rex standing there with a dry smile. After standing still for a few seconds, he hurried to the door, got in the car, turned around, and followed!
More than an hour's drive northeast of Carmarthen Town, there is a small town called Kington.

This is a standard Welsh town with a small population and a strong rural atmosphere. The most famous thing here is the garden, and there is a "Lilliputian".

It sounds bluffing, but it's actually a miniature garden that doesn't take up too much space but is beautifully arranged.

All the buildings inside are for the life of palm-sized villains.

Of course, there are no villains now, they are all fantasies, magic legends are flourishing around Carmarthen, there are magicians, there are giant dragons, it must be inseparable from the legendary villains.

It's not a dwarf, it's a villain!
Relying on such a Lilliputian Garden, it can be regarded as bringing a little traffic to Kington Town.

The suburb of Kington Town is where the Fox family's old pharmaceutical factory is located.

The scale is small, but the equipment is fairly new. Since bringing this industry over, Allen has basically not cared about them.

But this small pharmaceutical factory is still doing well. Relying on Allen's unique business --- Gambia Farm, its performance has been steadily improving in recent years.

For a long time, since Allen started the farming industry in Gambia, he has always been obsessed with the little blue pill that impressed him in his previous life.

This thing is just a small grain, but it has a great effect and can restore the happiness of many families.

Especially the Koreans have made an outstanding contribution to the sales of the little blue pill.

It is said that after Seoul, South Korea slowly developed, the entertainment industry was extremely developed. However, the entertainment industry is well developed, but Korean men are not good at it.

so.
There is no way but to rely on the little blue pill to maintain it.

Because these entertainment places are very close to the Han River, the drainage system will eventually discharge into the Han River.

After the little blue pill is eaten, many ingredients will actually be mixed with the liquid into the sewage, and then flow into the Han River.

Koreans use a lot of food and people, and too much liquid is drained into the Han River. It is said that at its peak, the fish in the Han River are hard every day!
Once possessed, this magical medicine can greatly promote the entertainment industry, and Allen is very greedy!
But after inquiring about it later, I found out that this thing doesn't exist in this era? !
It can only be replaced by a flat substitute drug whose effect is greatly weakened.

Now this pharmaceutical factory mainly produces this kind of medicine. From the factory, it is directly loaded and sent to the wharf, and then shipped directly to Gambia along with the cruise ship bound for Gambia.

Allen looked at the data report, the sales volume is excellent, and the sales volume is growing explosively every year!
Today, I received a message from the person in charge of the pharmaceutical factory asking for help. Alan was bored, so he came over to take a look.

From the front door, this pharmaceutical factory called Fox Pharmaceuticals looks ordinary.

A huge old iron gate, the front yard of the courtyard is the warehouse area and the parking area. In the parking area at this time, several trucks opened the back buckets and parked directly on the high platform in the warehouse area behind.

The medicines sent out from the warehouse can be directly pulled to the car with a small trolley.

Behind the warehouse is a strip-shaped garden area of ​​several hundred square meters, and behind the garden area is the factory area.

On both sides of the garden area are the office area, canteen, and non-medicinal warehouse area.

In the office area of ​​the three-story white building, the first floor is a large conference room, the second floor is a single leadership office, and the third floor is currently converted into a research and development area.

Allen looked at the factory manager in a white coat, let alone a doctor.

"Your Excellency! Our experiment is promising, but we have encountered difficulties recently."

The person in charge of the pharmaceutical factory nodded and looked at Alan. He didn't know why the pharmaceutical factory changed its owner. Anyway, that's all he knew.

Viscount Fox, that old fox-like aristocrat, is said to have gone to the United States, and then died!

His family business was gone, and it was a blessing in misfortune that the count could take down the pharmaceutical factory and not fire him.

After Allen took over the pharmaceutical factory, the pharmaceutical factory sent several professionals to the United States. With the help of Old Carl, they have been inquiring about the new drug for angina pectoris and coronary heart disease that Allen said.

Later, after many inquiries, I found out that it was a new drug being developed by the famous Pfizer.

The drug was developed as a project in 1985, and after four years, it finally made a breakthrough.

Then when it came to the key clinical trials, the results of the clinical trials were quite disastrous.

The drug effect is not up to standard!
That is to say, the new drug project that invested so much money and took several years to develop is abolished!

At this time, old Karl appeared stepping on the "colorful auspicious clouds".

With his agent and lawyer, he showed interest in the drug.

From the perspective of Pfizer's experimental department, the drug's efficacy is unstable, its side effects are severe, and it has no commercial value at all.

Although some experimenters were not reconciled and wanted to continue to improve the experiment, at this time there was a taker.

Capital is all about profit. If you can't make money, you have to stop the loss in time.

In the end, after negotiations between the two parties, Allen bought all the patented technology of this failed drug at a price of 2000 million pounds.

Then this failed product was manufactured by his Fox pharmaceutical factory and re-tested.

But clinical trials are a big spender comparable to research and development.

The initial experiments used animals, and these animals were not mice or anything.

But macaques that are very similar to people!
Moreover, wild macaques cannot be used, and artificially bred macaques of more than five years must be used.

In addition, for the experiment, there must be special requirements for this kind of macaque, so one can imagine the unit price of each macaque.

Each one costs more than 1 and nearly [-] pounds.

For the experiment, hundreds of macaques have been brought in, and the person in charge of the pharmaceutical factory used it with fear.

This is more than 200 million pounds!

now
It's not that the pharmaceutical factory has run out of money, but that it has no place to buy macaques for experiments.

"Can't buy it anymore?"

Allen was a little curious, is there anything that can't be bought with pounds these days?
"Yes sir. At present, although there are international sources of supply, most of them are adulterated wild macaques, and they are useless. Our domestic farms have all allocated indicators, and so many universities have to use them. We really can't buy them. Yes, unless a high price is paid."

"How tall?"

Allen looked at the anxious expression of the person in charge of the pharmaceutical factory. This price increase is understandable. As long as the experiment is in place, won't there be a lot of money in the future?

"Five times."

"How many?!"

Allen was shocked when he heard the amount.

Add five times, wouldn't it be almost [-] pounds apiece?

The main thing is how many will be used in the end, who knows?
If hundreds of macaques were added, then...
Tens of millions of pounds went in again.

This is pure money.

At this price, no wonder the person in charge of the pharmaceutical factory wants to see him. Alan has money in his hands now, but the money is a one-off, and it will be gone after it is spent!

Besides, he still needs to leave funds to develop other businesses. It hurts to think about being burned to tens of millions of pounds by a clinical trial.

Looking at Rex following behind him, Alan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

Turning to look at the person in charge of the pharmaceutical factory, he asked calmly.

"Clinical experiments, compared to animal experiments, do we have to use humans to continue verification in the future?"

"Ah? That's right, your process is like this. Drugs must be simulated first, and then tested on animals after the ingredient verification is feasible. After the animal experiments are completed, the safety verification is passed, and the final step is human verification. "

"Um"

Allen nodded and said: "Then, with your current clinical progress, can you speed up a little and go directly to human body verification?"

"This"

The person in charge of the pharmaceutical factory was stunned by Alan's question. It's not impossible, it's just a little bit dangerous.

It would be okay if it was changed to the United States. There are many immigrants there, and there are also many smuggled people. Just give some money, find some medicine people, and you can do experiments. This is much cheaper than using macaques!
A macaque costs more than 2 US dollars, what about the medicine man?

If you give you a few hundred dollars, you can go for fun. For this price, there are many medicine people who take the initiative to sign up.

But now this is Wales. There are few people in the first place, and there are no immigrants, let alone smuggled immigrants. They can't go to the United States to recruit test subjects, right?
How could he be willing to come out after he managed to smuggle over there?

"This is Rex, have you heard of him?"

Allen pointed to Rex, and continued under Rex's bewildered eyes: "In the future, if you need an experiment, you can find Rex, and he will provide you with manpower for the experiment."

Aren't those Koreans caught last year useless?

Then come to the pharmaceutical factory to shine, earn some living expenses for yourself, and relieve Rex's burden.

Anyway, Koreans will also be big consumers of this small blue pill in the future, so they should make contributions to their own people in advance.

Following Allen's explanation, Rex, who had listened for a long time, finally understood what this Your Excellency meant.

This.
"Wonderful!"

Isn't this just making the best use of everything, he doesn't have much in his hands now, just a lot of people!
They are all free eaters. In order to better display the value of these Koreans, Rex's hair is almost graying. Now
They can contribute to the young master's property, isn't that great?

It is an honor for them Koreans to help with the experiment!

"Okay! Young master, don't worry, I will send some people to assist the experiment when I go back today."

Rex nodded excitedly, then nodded to the person in charge of the pharmaceutical factory, and made a look that you understand.

The person in charge of the pharmaceutical factory shuddered, and some of them didn't quite understand what the person who assisted in the experiment meant.

Could it be that I, Great Wales, has recently developed a better economy, and there are more immigrants and smugglers?
Never heard of it.
